Dog the Bounty Hunter: New Season, a Lawsuit and a Feud

* Dog the Bounty Hunter Prepares for New Season

* Actor Sues DTBH Producers

* Dog to Battle on Celebrity Family Fued



It's time to check in on Duane Chapman and Dog the Bounty Hunter.

Less than a month until New Dog the Bounty Hunter

The new shows debut on Wednesday, July 16 on A & E Network.

Dog the Bounty Hunter,” a reality TV series that follows the unruly activities of Duane “Dog” Chapman, is returning to the air after its indefinite cancellation last November. Fans will be able to hear the beloved strains of “I’ll hunt you down, cause I‘m the dog” when the show continues with a brand new series on Wednesday, July 16.


The show, which is aired on the A&E network, chronicles the life of bounty hunter and bondsman Chapman who resides in Honolulu. Events of previous episodes have included his work in tracking and capturing bail jumpers and occurrences in his family relationships.

July 16 can't come soon enough for the legion of Dog fans.




DTBH Producers Sued by Actor

A Russian-born actor, Boris Krutonog, who says he created Dog the Bounty Hunter, has sued the show's producers for at least $5 million. Krutonog claims that he's owed compensation for royalties, salary and other considerations.

Krutonog also complains in court papers that he was the target of "abusive, violent and outrageous conduct" and "episodes of psychotic behavior by" the show's stars, Duane "Dog" Chapman and his wife Beth. Court papers say that he introduced himself to "Dog" Chapman in 1995. Believing that Chapman's colorful life and exploits could be the basis of a movie or a TV show, Krutonog signed contracts with Chapman and received the exclusive right to develop the program. Between 1995 and 2003, Krutonog alleges that he developed what became Dog the Bounty Hunter. The papers noted that A&E agreed to pay him as co-executive producer "for the life of the program" in order to obtain Krutonog’s consent to produce and air the show.

TV Dog Feuds on TV for Charity

Dog and members of his family will match up with Cathy Lee Gifford on Celebrity Family Feud for charity.

Family Feud goes Hollywood with an all-new celebrity edition of the classic game show, premiering Tuesday, June 24 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on "A". Hosted by Al Roker, Celebrity Family Feud is a star-studded version of the beloved game show, only this time 24 famous families will face off and throw down for the charity of their choice. Former TV Queen Kathy-Lee Gifford goes head-to-head with Dog the Bounty Hunter, the casts of My Name is Earl and The Office fight for first place and Deion Sanders tries to keep up with the Kardashians.

Dog and his bounty hunter family will be only one star-studded match-up. The line-up consists of:

* Ice T vs. Joan and Melissa Rivers
* Raven-Symone vs. Wayne Newton
* Kathie Lee Gifford vs. Dog the Bounty Hunter
* The Kardashians vs. Deion and Pilar Sanders
* Bill Engvall vs. Larry the Cable Guy
* Vivica A. Fox vs. Mo'Nique
* Christopher Knight and Adrianne Curry vs. the Teutul family from American Chopper
* Tiki Barber vs. Ed McMahon
* Vincent Pastore vs. cast members from The Girls Next Door
* Corbin Bernsen vs. Margaret Cho
* "The Hickeys" from My Name Is Earl vs. "The Camden County All-Stars" from My Name Is Earl
* Cast members from The Office vs. the American Gladiators.

As fans well know, DTBH was pulled from A&E's lineup last November after a private cellphone conversation was sold by his son to the National Enquirer. The Enquirer released the tape which contained racial slurs.

In May, A&E announced that the show would return, with assurances that Chapman had taken the necessary efforts in receiving forgiveness from those who had been affected by his racist comments. A statement from the network explained, “Since the premise of Dog the Bounty Hunter is about second chances, we have decided to give him one.”

Before the show's suspension, the program was the network’s highest rated series.

Looks like Duane Chapman is making the most of his second chance, which for fans and Chapman alike, begins on July 16

Sweden: Sex and Swingers in the Land of the Midnight Sun

So What Gives With Sweden?




Wandering through The Local, Sweden's News In English, (The Local), sharp DBKP researchers and bottom feeders of interesting news, find the following grouping of headlines.

. Handcuffed Lovers Freed By Police
http://www.thelocal.se/12450.html

• Mum avoids conviction for tongue kissing her son (12 Jun 08)
• Swedish teen girls have more sex with one another (30 May 08)
• Kinky Swedish mums want more sex (16 May 08)

Whoa. Not wanting to pry, but being compelled by professional responsibility to review the stories, we find that the country of a mere nine million people and no indigenous population growth to speak of ( relying upon Muslim immigrants for real babies), seem to have a rather energetic bent towards the unusual.

In the first story for instance, we learn that ..."The couple called the police after their sex game had left them in a tricky situation as their keys failed to open their handcuffs and they were left locked to each each other.

Police needed the help of bolt-cutters to pry the pair apart."




Cell Phone Finger Cuffs: so you can call for help.

OK, accidents like that can happen to anybody. I mean, it is not like, in the heat of the moment, one would actually check to see if the keys to the cuffs fit before trying them on. It is not as if the overheated couple would actually ask the store clerk to put them on first.

Easy come, easy go.

But, "There was a further man in the apartment when the police arrived. He had been trying to help the couple out of their bind, but had been unable to force the handcuffs open. " Now that is disturbing.

You are having your neighborhood threesome, and the totally unnecessary third wheel to this bike, can't go get a pair of damn bolt-cutters so you don't end up on the front page of a national newspaper.




Third Wheel

Then there are the Kinky Swedish Mums who Want More Sex. This rather shocking article makes it clear that Swedish mums seem to be a bit sex-starved.

"Apparently, 43 percent of mums under the age of 29 own a dildo and almost 28 percent of those questioned in the Mama survey have checked out online porn.
... 39 percent of the Swedish mums surveyed have had anal sex and 23 percent fantasize about other men or women during sexual intercourse. 37 percent of the younger mums (under age 29) have had lesbian fantasies. 2 percent have had group sex and 23 percent of mums under the age of 29 use handcuffs as part of sex play."

(Note, check out key first).



Not to be crass, but this explains in extreme detail why Sweden has a population growth rate--including immigration--of 1%: 50% less than that needed for sustaining their population. This is half of that of their American cousins, who apparently know that those forms of sex are going to bring that stork home.

No more than the mom who French-kissed her son--and had him breast feeding a 6 year old. All a misunderstanding there, mate. As the mom said:

“Is it not allowed to give children some love without the risk of [going to court].”

All in unison! Ewwwwww.



Speaking of Ewwww:

"More teenage girls than boys have had sex with someone of the same gender", according to a new dissertation from the Sahlgrenska Academy in Gothenburg.

The result comes as no surprise to the researcher, midwife Gun Rembeck, who works at the primary care clinic in southern Älvsborg.

“I work at the youth health centre and asked the staff there what they thought before I told them about the results. They answered right away that there are more girls,” she said.

“It was 6.1 percent of the girls who answered that they had had sex with someone of the same gender, while 1.7 percent of boys said the same thing,” Rembeck explained."

Now we are talking shortfall here.

Like a serious shortfall for the boys who have a rate of homosexuality a bit below that found in most international studies, 2%,( not the 10% frequently quoted by the Mainstream Media or the 50% according to Hollywood). But to see the best girls get swept away by the kinky mums of Sweden, that hurts.




Now that hurts.

Ron Paul: Will Stay in Race; Help "Ron Paul Republicans"

Ron Paul News Roundup

Ron Paul "Hotties" Calendar Sold Out
Paul to Stay in Race
The Rise of "Ron Paul Republicans"?



The big news this morning is that Ron Paul has announced that he will stay in the Republican presidential race.

And that the "Hotties 4 Ron Paul" calendars are sold out--and there won't be any more printed.

Also, that more candidates are running under the "Ron Paul Republican" banner--one just announced in Michigan.

Repeating what he'd insisted: that Ron Paul will stay in the race.

"I will stay in as long as my supporters want me to," the Texas congressman said on American Morning Wednesday. "I was very reluctant to enter the race, didn't think it would last more than a month or two, but to my amazement, we literally got hundreds of thousands of supporters and millions of dollars, and they are still very enthusiastic. And I say as long as the number of volunteers continues to grow, and the money comes in, and there are primaries out there, and they want me to be involved, I am going to stay involved."

Paul won 5 percent of the vote in Wisconsin and 7 percent in Washington State in yesterday's Republican primaries. He said he believes his unlikely run has attracted others of similar political leanings who want to run for Congress.

One such person is Linda Goldthorpe of Michigan. She announced plans to run as a "Ron Paul Republican".

Linda Goldthorpe of Curtis in the Upper Peninsula plans to run in the Republican primary against state Rep. Tom Casperson and conservative Don Hooper, and if she prevails will run as a “Ron Paul Republican” against seven-term Democratic Congressman Bart Stupak.

An outspoken disciple of Ron Paul, Goldthorpe says she has called herself a “pro-life Libertarian” for years.

Libertarians were an important part of the Reagan Republican coalition in the 1980s, but with the election of George Bush and the rise of "compassionate conservatism"--politicalspeak for more big government spending--libertarian concerns of smaller government and less government intrusion seem to have been pushed to the back of the Republican national agenda.

Now, more Americans with Libertarian principles are trying to make the issue of smaller government more important to the national GOP poobahs.

"One of my problems now is that I am being overwhelmed with individuals who want to [run] and I have the responsibility of sorting it out because we are capable of raising funds," he said. "So it is a responsibly that will be a significant one for me to make sure I help the candidates that are true believes and not just the ones who want to be in Congress."

A Ron Paul Republican would most likely be Libertarian in outlook: i.e., adamant about scaling back the power of a U.S. federal government that has reached into almost every facet of individual life in modern-day America.

Paul had previously announced this month that he was scaling back his presidential run to focus on his Texas district and the re-election race he faces there.

Paul is facing a challenge that any Congressman running for President must face: opponents who use the time spent away from the congressional district as a talking point.

Congressional opponents are using Paul's presidential run as an issue: it's being said that Ron Paul is more concerned with running for President than he is his local constituents.

So, Ron Paul is putting more time into meeting and greeting the folks back home in his Texas district. And in helping organize like-minded individuals who are running for office across the country.

Paul, who won 5 percent of the vote in Wisconsin and 7 percent in Washington State, also said he believes his unlikely candidacy has attracted like-minded individuals who want to run for Congress.

Paul also categorically ruled out a third party bid in the future.

As far as attractive women and Ron Paul, there will be no more "Hotties 4 Ron Paul" calendars reprinted.



The website for "Hotties for Ron Paul" says the calendar is sold out.

The site apologizes for everyone coming to the site to get a calendar. The website statement: "The Hotties4RonPaul Calendar has sold out! We apologize to all the Ron Paul supporters out there who came here looking to get a calendar!"

Concerning a reprint of the obviously-popular wall hanging which the site says "rated G, contains no nudity, and is safe for the workplace," the question is answered in the site's FAQ.

You have sold out of calendars, will you be printing more?
No, at this time we are not planning on printing any more calendars.

Iconoclast Republican Ron Paul attracts unconventional support for his presidential campaign, including a 2008 pinup calendar by Hotties for Ron Paul, an independent fund-raiser not affiliated with the campaign. The calendar features 12 scantily clad young women (no nudity). February's "Featured Hottie" is Krista Allee DiPaola, identified as a Detroit special education teacher.

In America, as in the rest of the world, politics and attractive women seem to be a natural combination.

Of course, leave it to an American to figure out a way to make a buck off the two.
